| Climate and Weather | Afghanistan has a typical continental dry climate, characterised by seasonal and daily extremes of temperature and clearly defined seasons. The whole country is arid to semi-arid; precipitation is mainly in winter and falls on the higher ground as snow. Some eastern areas bordering Pakistan are affected by the monsoon, but the monsoon does not reach the southwest region, and mountains on the Pakistan side shelter the northeast region. Temperature regimes are greatly modified by altitude – low sites are almost frost-free with very hot summers; the higher areas are arctic in winter. |
